A text-only post announcing that the Los Angeles Dodgers had been eliminated from World Series contention went up minutes after Milwaukee finished a four-game sweep in the National League Championship Series. It became the biggest thread of our sweep relative to community size: about 32,900 upvotes and 2,400 comments in a 2.8-million-member subreddit.

The replies are mostly a party. The top comments point out that the Dodgers were swept at home, ending their hopes of a third straight title, by the same Brewers team they had swept in last year's NLCS, and that it came two months after the Dodgers traded for Skubal. Others joke that rival fans (one describes a Yankees fan and a Red Sox fan hugging) briefly found common ground. A smaller group of Dodgers fans argue the sweep was a fluke.
